Madrid🇪🇸Spain🇺🇦Ukrainian Crew Member's Passport Disaster | Euro Trip VLOG 1

Welcome to my latest on-the-go vlog! This episode kicks off my 10-day European adventure, which is a much-needed break from life as an Assistant Cruise Director on a cruise ship. As a Ukrainian man who cannot return home for vacation right now, my travels take on a different kind of meaning, full of unique challenges and unexpected turns.
In this first part of the Euro trip, I land in Madrid, Spain. My primary goal? To visit the state enterprise document service ("DP document") office in the La Gavia shopping mall to renew my Ukrainian passport. It's a vital, non-governmental service supporting Ukrainians across Europe, and a crucial stop on my journey.
Join me as I show you my arrival in Madrid, my stay at the cool 'Room 00' hostel on Gran Vía, and the vibrant late October 2025 atmosphere of the city center. I'll also give you a peek at a delicious buffet I checked out!
But the trip doesn't go as planned. I run into a major hurdle at the passport office – I don't have the necessary documents! This means my 10-day journey (Madrid, Romania, Budapest, Albania, Milan, and back to Lisbon) has just gotten a lot more complicated or should I say existing! This video is just the beginning of the adventure and the explanation.
Stay tuned for part two from Madrid! Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more lifestyle, travel, and cruise ship life content.
